Leadership Lemonade refreshes school return

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
London 22nd June 2020

Leadership Lemonade, a series of refreshing online sessions that squeezes the pips for a successful return to school as teachers and students come out of COVID-19 lockdown.

A series of five short, sharp sessions to help move beyond the triage of re-opening schools, to blue-sky thinking about the future of education have been specially designed for school leaders.

By signing up, headteachers will have a chance to listen to, and quiz school leaders from around the world on how they’re approaching teaching post-COVID-19.

Leading the session is educational entrepreneur, Alex Bell, Director of Portland Education, named as one of the top 100 education innovators in the world by HundrED and Forbes magazine for 2020.

Alex said, “It’s incredibly tough for school leaders right now. We’ve put together Leadership Lemonade to help school leaders take control and seize the opportunity to run their school on their terms.”

He’s joined by Karine George, a government adviser on education innovation, and award-winning teacher who is a leading authority and international speaker on education leadership, dynamic learning, parental engagement and the use of technology in teaching and learning.

Karine commented, “School leaders have things coming at them from all sides at the moment. We’ve got their back in this short sharp programme running for five 1-hour sessions.”

Alex added, “ We are both delighted to be launching a new short sharp leadership programme for schools to make sense of, and take all the opportunities they can, as we come out of lockdown. COVID-19 has given us lemons, let’s make lemonade.”

Leadership Lemonade will leave you with a renewed sense of clarity of precisely what is right for you, your school community and this world right now.
